Even if a terrorist kills one American and then kills one more, that\u2019s one too many, and we so we have to be tough at some point and understand where she stands because we should all agree that\u2019s a simple concept.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Granger referenced the moment from Tuesday\u2019s hearing when Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), during an argument with Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin (D-IL) about Guantanamo Bay detainees, had <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/i-hope-they-all-die-in-jail-lindsey-graham-blows-up-at-dick-durbin-storms-out-of-hearing\/\">walked out in frustration<\/a> \u2013 and she argued that many Americans were passionate about seeing other Americans killed at the hands of terrorists.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s not that passionate. That was histrionics. That was political theater,\u201d co-host Sunny Hostin shot back. She went on to argue that Jackson, who was a public defender at the time, had not \u201cchosen\u201d to represent terrorists as Republicans claimed \u2014 but she left out the fact that Jackson\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawfareblog.com\/ketanji-brown-jackson-guantanamo-and-role-defense-attorneys\">had<\/a>\u00a0also represented one such suspect in private practice.<\/p>\n<p>Haines jumped into the conversation then, saying that Graham had clearly intended for his questions to be rhetorical when he asked Jackson about her religious views. His goal, she noted, was to highlight the fact that some Democratic senators had effectively imposed a religious test on Justice Barrett.<\/p>\n<p>Haines then went on to defend that religious test despite the fact that it is <a href=\"https:\/\/constitutioncenter.org\/interactive-constitution\/interpretation\/article-vi\/clauses\/32\">explicitly barred<\/a> by Article IV of the U.S. Constitution, which reads, \u201cno religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe difference was it made sense for Amy Coney Barrett to be questioned on those things purely because one of the number one issues dividing this country is a woman\u2019s right to choose versus pro-life, and it\u2019s a religious \u2013 it\u2019s greatly and mostly based in a religious belief and separating that belief out,\u201d Haines said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo the fact that Amy Coney Barrett \u2013 Justice, sorry \u2014 Justice Amy Coney Barrett, her whole life was enmeshed in religion,\u201d Haines continued. \u201cIt\u2019s beyond just she goes to church on Sunday. She was on boards, she was on pro-life boards. So when they pressed her on religion \u2014 where Lindsey Graham had kind of couched it in, \u2018They\u2019re trolling all this personal information,\u2019 it absolutely was necessary in the questioning of Amy Coney Barrett whereas when they did it to Ketanji Brown, they\u2019re trolling her, they\u2019re trying to make her out to be something.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Haines concluded by mocking some of the questions Republicans had asked, arguing that they were all going to vote on party lines anyway. \u201cAre babies racist? Rate your religion scale of one to ten. What\u2019s the definition of a woman? It speaks to how unassailable she is that it\u2019s reached this absurd level.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
